BACKGROUND ART

Increasing the flowering of plants is of considerable importance in thefield of Horticultural and Agricultural, since increased flowering meansincreased flower crop in Horticulture and increased flowering wouldresult in increased fruiting, which again means a better crop inagriculture. There is no known prior art for increasing flowering inplants particularly. Hitherto the prior art was limited to usingchemical and organic fertilizers in agriculture and horticulture whichwould result in overall increasing of the plant flowering quality andultimately, yield. But there is a limitation to the use of thefertilizers and compost because of the law of diminishing returns.Fertilizers will increase vegetative growth also along with floweringand fruiting. Therefore flowering and fruiting do not take place totheir peak levels.

It is the object of the present invention to formulate a composition,which would specifically stimulate higher flowering in plants and notmerely result in over all growth of the plant.

A prior art search has been made world wide including at the U.S Patentoffice, database and European Patent Office, database for prior artrelating to flowering stimulants in plants. In view of the fact of theuniqueness of the invention, there has been no promising discoveries orinventions in the field. The applicant's invention has given substantiallead with confirmed results for various agriculture and horticulturecrops.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The present invention addressees the problem of inventing andinvestigating a novel formulation which will stimulate flowering ofagricultural and horticultural crops. This invention is a break throughand an outcome of extensive research for finding out the basic rawmaterial and formulation of the exact composition, Nitrobenzene tamed ina suitable formulation, used as spray or in granular form, whichincreases flower forming substances by altering auxin, cytokinin,gibbrellic acid and Ethylene ratio favourably tilting to a higher levelof flower forming substances, thereby increasing flowers by more than 40to 45% and yield thereby.

Example No. 1

Acid slurry (Linear Alkyl Aryl Benzene) is added slowly to the measuredquantities of Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic soda) in a high density plasticvessel (or) stainless steel container to secure a neutral solutionstrictly with pH 7.0. When the resultant product cools to roomtemperature, urea is added till a Honey colour is obtained. Theresultant solution is then primed to required quantity i.e. volume byadding water.

Nitrobenzene is then slowly added and simultaneously stirred tilluniform product with Aromatic smell is secured. (For optimal results theresultant flowering stimulant should contain 20% NITROBENZENE v/v andthe formulation should have absorbed the active ingredient uniformly and280 should be in free flowing formulation easily mixable with water.

Example No. 2

In certain special cases and in certain sensitive crops, ionicsurfactant base as described in above paragraph is not useful or isredundant.

In such cases, a non-ionic (totally organic or plant derived)surfactants (example—Glycol Ether) taken to predetermined level and N.B.(NITROBENZENE) is charged into the Non ionic medium till a 20% or arequired concentration of flowering stimulant is obtained. Now asophisticated Flowering stimulant cum quality improver, product “BoomFlower-n” is ready. (This will be a de-odorized, free flowing Fool-proofproduct and will easily have 3 to 4 years shelf life and is compatiblewith all Agro chemicals.

Example No. 3

To a measured quantity of Aromatic solvent (Say Aromax, CIX etc.),required quantity of Nitrobenzene and q.s. (quantum sufficientum) nonionic/lonic/cationic emulsifier or mixed emulsifier) is added andthoroughly mixed in stainless steel formulation kettle to obtain the endproduct flowering stimulant and quality enriching Boom Flower in theform of a homogeneous mixture. It is compatible with all Agro Chemical.

Example No. 4

To a measured quantity of Roasted Bentonite clay, or unroasted Bentoniteclay or silica quarts sand granules with calcium silicate absorbent,required quantity of Nitrobenzene with suitable coating agent is addedand thoroughly mixed to obtain Nitrobenzene granules at 10% or 15%strength.
